So you want to be a medical mum? cover

In 2006 over 60% of medical graduates in the UK were female, and the number of women going to medical school as 'mature students' is steadily increasing. Some of these women will, at some point, choose to have a baby, but the question always asked is how to fit it in with a medical career? Along with the problem of finding time to actually have a baby, and coping as a pregnant doctor, there is the problem of finding information when it is most needed. This book addresses this problem, bringing a wealth of information together in one easy-to-use resource. Written by a mother, who has faced the joys and frustrations of combining medicine and being a mother, this book is a "one-stop-shop" for all mothers and mums-to-be.

For me the most useful message was to be a mum, not a doctor, to my baby and to enjoy the parenting process, If you're thinking of becoming, going to be, or already are a medic mum, this might be just the book for you.
This book guides you through the ups and downs and combines a wealth of information in one easy to use resource. * BMA News Review. d *
